Gudas is pretty high up on the list as well

I don't recall Gudas biting before

Burrows is in a league of his own.

Fun fact. Alex Burrows goes out of his way in the summer to attend charity events put on by other players to get people to like him. It doesn’t work.

From the r/hockey thread on the play:

You know it's suspendable when it's not even allowable in the UFC, blatant knee to the back of his head
That says it all. What a POS.

Sens fans probably hoping it's for two seasons.

How this dirtbag keeps getting ice time, especially in the third after such a stupid penalty that nearly cost them the lead, escapes me.

Burrows is a dirty rat but I would have liked to see Hall at least stand his ground there.

Too bad they don't play again this season.

If Forsberg gets 3 games Burrows should get at least 15. That's dispicible.

Other than what should be a 20+ game suspension, I hope New Jersey got about an 11 minute power play out of that.

Burrows should have gotten about three separate minor penalties prior to taking a major for kneeing.

Hope he gets what he deserves one day on the ice.

Gutless hockey player.

Besides the kneeing, his skates are flying around like lethal weapons a in a scrum of people. If the league is so worried about the possible dangers of players sticking their skates up to straddle the blue line on off-side plays, then this has to be a huge suspension.

Burrows is a complete waste of skin and a garbage human being.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Anyone who has looked past his absolute vile acts in the past and actively cheered for him because he wore a jersey of the team they cheered for - is a worse person for it.

He's that disgusting of a person.

As if I needed any more reasons to hate the Sens.

At least I'm comforted by the fact that that whole team is garbage on the ice this year as well.

Man, have I ever become a Hall fan ever since he left the (c)Oil.

What a great hit he throws on Burrows initially.
